It is interesting how divided scientists are on the best way ahead, so much for the 'follow the science' mantra. Though, it is probably fair to state that there is a trend for qualified 'infectious disease epidemiologists' to share Mark Woolhouse's views.
Yes, my impression is also that most infectious disease epidemiologist favor an age-targeted strategy over general lockdowns. Among other scientists, most are silent, for obvious reasons, while almost all the vocal ones favor general age-wide lockdowns.
Am I allowed to ask a question here? If elderly people have all of their mental faculties and are given facts and not propaganda, shouldn’t they be allowed to make their own decision about whether they should be locked down? My parents are mid 80s and want to live their lives.
Understandable. Lockdowns postpone herd immunity, forcing older people to either self-isolate longer or to take higher risks to live proper lives. Not good.https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/29/delaying-herd-immunity-is-costing-lives/ …
